      Excellent tour

      "Huyen (Windy) and her driver were great! She has a very lively personality and excellent knowledge about Saigon and the Cu Chi Tunnels which kept us entertained and informed throughout the day. Windy's detailed knowledge of the site meant we stayed away from the crowds. She also went out of her way to find us a vegetarian lunch. We highly recommend Windy to anyone looking for an authentic and engaging tour. 10/10"

      Remarkable, Amazing, Memorable

      "Thien quickly became like family as she took us on a walking tour of the city and then on a trip down memory lane to Vietnam War sites outside of the city the following day. She is very knowledgable, quick to respond and went above and beyond for our daddy. His dream was to see where he served, and she made it happen. We will forever be grateful for our time with her. Thank you!"

      A tour w/Huyen is a guaranteed great day!

      "We toured the Cu Chi Tunnels with Huyen and her detailed knowledge of the site and its history really made for a fascinating experience. She was so knowledgeable and had so many insights that we learned so much more than we could have on our own. I would definitely do another tour with Huyen and highly recommend both her and With Locals!"

      Best guide ever!

      "We’ve done quite some Withlocals tours, and - no offense to the other guides - Thien was the best guide we’ve ever had! She is amazing and the tour was great. We didn’t go to the standard tunnels but she brought us to the less known and less touristic part of Cu Chi. One word: amazing!"

      An Unforgettable Cultural Experience

      "Huyen was an outstanding guide. She was kind, professional, knowledgeable, and made us feel like we were part of her community from the very beginning. She shared fascinating insights about Vietnamese culture, traditions, and values, while also taking a genuine interest in learning about our own cultures and beliefs. Our conversations were meaningful, and she always listened with respect and an open mind. We even discussed sensitive topics such as war. As someone from the United States and with Huyen being from Vietnam, I truly appreciated how she approached these conversations with honesty, empathy, and mutual respect. It made the experience even more memorable and meaningful. I highly recommend Huyen to anyone looking for an authentic and engaging tour. I would absolutely choose another tour with her in the future. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!"

      Beautiful trip to Can Gio

      "Had a wonderful trip to Can Gio with Jecky - flexibility to adjust the programme along the way was much appreciated. Easy communication and we had a lot of fun along the way. Also appreciate the openness to help out with another trip later on during our vacation - nice to be with people who are really helpful and proactive and open to share ideas for other trips and activities. Highly recommend a trip with Jecky."

      Wonderful tour, even better guide!

      "I booked my tour to CuChi Tunnels with Huyen and it was a great experience. Huyen filled the two hour trip from Saigon with loads of history specific to the site, as well and pointing out little details of surroundings along the way. On the trip back we even got a cafe sua da for refreshment. Huyens smile on her profile paints the perfect picture of her cheerful personality, as well as her kind and thoughtful vibe. I highly recommend booking a tour with her. I will surely be booking her for another fact filled fun tour with her during my next trip to Saigon!! Thanks Huyen!!!"
